The Shine Project {an inspirational giveaway!}

I'm soooo excited to feature Ashley, of The Shine Project



Ashley is FULL of inspiration, creativity, compassion and has great style :)

She blogs over at The Shine Project where she hosts weekly challenges, holds service projects all while inspiring and motivating us all.

And, in case that's not enough,

Ashley recently started a program called Change4Change

I have a first hand experience of seeing the struggles that inner city high school students go through on a daily basis. After working with them for my internship last semester, my heart was touched. There are so many kids that have SO much potential, and just need someone to help them see it. Well I've seen it, and I want to show them that they can accomplish hard things. This is why I started putting money from each shine necklace sold into the Shine Scholarship Fund.

My goal is to raise $20,000 for The Shine Project Scholarship Fund by the end of October. The money will specifically be going to four students at Cesar Chavez High School in Phoenix, Arizona, to help them pay for their first year of college. This will be accomplished in two ways. The first way is by doing CHANGE for CHANGE jars. You have the opportunity to get involved by pledging to do a CHANGE jar. I have tags to send you, and for the next three months you will throw your leftover change in this jar. Those of you who are brave will also get your friends, neighbors, and businesses around you to to show a little love and donate.

MY GOAL IS TO HAVE 100 OF YOU PLEDGE TO RAISE $100 BY OCTOBER.

If you think about it, $100 really isn't that much. But when 100 people ban together to make a difference, $10,000 suddenly is able to change 2 student's lives.

If you're not in a position to donate money,

Ashley is also collecting items for a silent auction that will be held on

October 20th

All proceeds will go directly to the scholarship fund

that will help send inner city kids to college.
